I saw a picture taken this week of the Italian actress and model Sophia Loren and thought, “Oh, she looks good.” But then I realized her actual age. Okay, for nearing 80, she looks really good. Damn good! She looks…wow.Read More »

So you have facial hair. It happens. Some women are just cursed with darker peach fuzz than others. There are a variety of reasons for female facial hair: genetics, health issues, hormones, etc. The great thing about modern technology is that you don’t have to live with facial hair. Shaving isn’t such a great idea; stubble doesn’t look as sexy on ladies as it does on guys. Laser, electrolysis, and IPL are effective and often permanent, but they’re pricey and time-consuming. So what is a girl to do when she’s got a dignified mustache on her face? Here are a few quick, affordable options.Read More »

Freckle Freakout

If you’ve spent any time in the sun this summer, you may have more freckles than you started out with. I have had freckles for longer than I can remember. In elementary school, people started to tell me how to get rid of them. Back then, it was lemon juice. Now, it’s skin brightening creams. I’ve always liked my freckles, and I’m not the only one…but if you have them, you have options. The freckled folk amongst us can try to fade them, cover them, or enhance them.Read More »

In a recent article posted by The Gloss, a study reveals that forty percent of survey takers find BB Cream befuddling.

For some of you, BB Cream may be really old news, but some of you may not have been exposed to it yet. BB Cream only recently made its way onto drugstore shelves, but before then, was sold exclusively in higher end cosmetics stores like Sephora. It’s also a lot more expensive than drugstore brands.Read More »

I got my hair cut the other day.

I figured I might as well try something new and cute, so I gave my stylist the go-ahead to make it really short.

Not So Pretty in Pink

Nicki Minaj recently unveiled the perfume bottle for her pink Friday fragrance, and from most of the posts and websites I checked out, it’s receiving lukewarm to cold responses. I am not a Nicki Minaj fan by any means, but I was actually surprised that the negatives were so abundant.

Gossiponthis.com posted, “Is this a trick or a treat? Cause that perfume bottle looks like C-3PO got a sex change and a pink wig. The Huffington Post suggests “the bottle is very similar to Jean Paul Gaultier's Classique, Lady Gaga’s new fragrance Fame and Thierry Mugler's Alien.”Read More »

Major Addiction: Beauty Videos!

Posted on 26. Jul, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Technology, Abby Lee Hood, beauty, blogging, videos

I could sit and watch beauty tutorials all day – by that, I mean fashion styling tips, makeup tutorials, and hair tutorials. The fact that I watch hair tutorials doesn’t even make sense because I don’t have any hair! I have a really short pixie cut, so it’s not like the whole “milkmaid braids” applies to me. Nor can I do any “beachy waves.” So many of these videos don’t even apply to me that it’s ridiculous! So why do I like them so much?

I’m going to break down some of my favorite beauty tutorials and talk about why they’re SO addictive.Read More »

The food you consume does affect how you look, including your skin, your hair and your nails. Here are five beauty cleanses and diets that can lead to a better glow:Read More »

A Clean Start: How to Clean Your Makeup Brushes

Posted on 14. May, 2012 by Dana Linn in category of Makeup & Skincare, Abby Lee Hood, beauty, makeup brushes

Cleaning your makeup brushes is extremely important: it removes dirt, germs, and makeup residue/buildup on the bristles. If you don’t keep them clean, dirty brushes can cause infection, acne, and mix your makeup colors so that the payoff isn’t exactly right. These things can be easily avoided by cleaning them regularly and properly.Read More »
